Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg testifies Jan. 31 on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., before a U.S. Senate committee hearing on Big Tech and the Online Child Sexual Exploitation Crisis.

Social media and artificial intelligence have created a dangerous world for our youth.

According to Stanford researchers, one popular database used to train AI contained more than 1,000 images of CSAM.
